ARTHOSCOPY

Knee arthroscopic surgery is a procedure performed through small incisions in the skin
to repair injuries to tissues such as ligaments, cartilage, or bone within the knee joint area.
The surgery is conducted with the aid of an arthroscope, which is a very small instrument
guided by a lighted scope attached to a television monitor. Other instruments are inserted
through three incisions around the knee. Arthroscopic surgeries range from minor procedures
such as flushing or smoothing out bone surfaces or tissue fragments (lavage and debridement)
associated with osteoarthritis, to the realignment of a dislocated knee and ligament grafting
surgeries.
The range of surgeries represents very different procedures, risks, and aftercare requirements.

Treatment of these acute injuries include such common surgeries as:

Repairs of a torn ligament or reconstruction of the ligament.

ACL Reconstruction

PCL Reconstruction

Meniscal repair

Arthroscopic bankart repair for recurrent shoulder dislocation

A Bankart lesion is a shoulder injury. It occurs when there is a tear in the labrum. This is the fibrous cartilage that helps hold the shoulder joint in place. Surgery can repair this injury. This surgery may be done through a few small incisions. This is called arthroscopic surgery.
The labrum is a thick band of cartilage attached to the glenoid. It lines the shoulder socket and helps keep the ball of the humorous in place. This arthroscopic procedure is used to repair a detached labrum. The labrum and glenohumeral ligament are reattached to the glenoid. Surgical anchors or sutures are used.

INTACT ACL AND PCL

ACL TEAR

ACL RECONSTRUCTION

Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL) is the soft tissue inside the knee joint that connects the thigh bone(femur) and the leg bone (tibia) and gives stability to the knee joint while walking, running and turning sideways.

WHAT IF NOT TREATED?

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the soft tissue in your knee joint running from the thigh bone (femur) to the leg bone (tibia) which along with ACL
helps in controlling the rotational stability of the knee during twisting and turning activities.
